Project Management in Zurmo

Project Management is now fully integrated with Zurmo CRM. This comes as great news to users who have been lamenting about the pains of constantly changing gears between one application and another. Now managing customer relationships and projects can happen within the same environment. We believe this will translate into more people adopting each.

Project Management in Zurmo is agile, collaborative, and facilitates great insight into what is going on. This is very much in accordance to the application as a whole.
Let’s see how it all works:

Get a bird’s eye view of how various projects are moving along:

Hone in on a specific project to see details. It should come as no surprise to Zurmo fans that we have decided to represent the progression of projects through Kanban visualizations. People really seem to love dragging and dropping to move items from left to right. We would never want to rob anyone of the small tingle of joy they experience by visualizing accomplishment.

A couple of cool things to point out in the screenshot above:

A task will have a green bar above it if it contains any Checklist items that have been completed. The length if the bar denotes the percent of checklist items completed. (A task with no checklist items will not show a bar).

Different users can add comments on the task and click the Comment button to submit their comment. Some examples of comments can be questions about the task, or reasons for accepting/rejecting the task.Users can subscribe to receive notifications on project updates. The thumbnail profile/avatars are people who have subscribed to receive updates. The goal is to keep everyone informed and encourage as much collaboration as possible.

To better understand Project Management, we recommend having a closer look at tasks and how they can be directly associated with objects in the CRM.

Not at this point. We may include more options to sort checklist items in a future release.

We also have the same problem here with Projects not showing up in the menu. We checked already if the users had some problems with permissions but they have access to the modules and it is also configured in Module Rights.

Projects is hidden in mobile mode. Change to desktop mode by clicking the desktop icon at the lower right of the screen.

Login as ‘super’. On the homepage, you will see a left hand menu with modules listed (Inbox, Accounts, Leads, Contacts, Opportunities). Click the three dots under the Opportunities module so that you can open up the menu, where you will see Projects and a number of other modules.

Hi there Ray,

I have my own installation, and I can see the modules (inbox, accounts, leads, contacts, Opportunities, Reports and others) but i can’t found the projects option.

What version of Zurmo are you using? You need to be on at least 2.5 to have Projects.

Projects are enabled in groups. I checked the live demo, where it works fine. What else could be wrong?
Thanks

i love a zurmo CRM but one thing is not satisfying in the demo… how
can i have direct link to a task? is that possible? cause at the moment
it seems everything is ajax so no direct link of the task.. it is very
important that we can have a direct reference to a task by a link so
that we can directly give developers a link to task so that they can see
it directly by clicking on it instead of searching and finding? really like the insight on it asap
